The Observer Goes to a Guns N’ Roses Show, and Fashion Week is Over

In celebration of the long desired end of Fashion Week, DeLeon Tequila and Nur Khan hosted what would be the last of their fabled Electric Sessions last night at the Hiro Ballroom (which, for the record, is still open) with Guns n’ Roses. Read More

Reports: Chinese Democracy Recorded in Many, Many Studios

- "If [Axl] Rose ever had a moment’s doubt or repentance over what Chinese Democracy has cost him in time (13 years), money (14 studios are listed in the credits) and body count — including the exit of every other founding member of the band — he left no room for it in these 14 Read More

Guns N’ Roses Streaming at MySpace; Chuck Klosterman Likes It!

Rolling Stone Pubs First Chinese Democracy Review; Gushes for GNR

Today, Rolling Stone posted the first official review of Guns N’ Roses’ (choose your adverb) delayed Chinese Democracy, due out finally and officially and exclusively through Best Buy on November 23.

At Long Last, For Real This Time, Chinese Democracy To Be Released

Holy shit: It’s actually happening! No no, not Barack… Chinese Democracy! According to Billboard.com (via Pitchfork), Guns N’ Roses’ cosmically-delayed record—their first studio album since Use Your Illusion’s double-whammy —will hit stores on November 23. By stores, of course, we mean only Best Buy. But hey, at least it’s out Read More

Chinese Democracy May For Real Be Released. Also, There’s a Flaming Lips Movie!

It’s one of the most mocked records of all time, and it hasn’t even been released yet. That would be Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy—the endlessly delayed follow-up to Use Your Illusion I and II. But 17 years, four presidential elections, and three major wars later, Axl’s pet project finally has a release date… sort Read More

The Week in Music: Six Organs of Admittance, Bach Is Back (With Axl), and Plenty of "Gifts"

Unless you’re a fan of Jordin Sparks—the American Idol winner—or Nicole Scherzinger—of Pussycat Dolls fame—both of which have albums coming out today, you’re probably excited for the new Six Organs of Admittance album, Shelter From the Ash. Although Six Organs has been putting out albums since 1998, its founder Ben Chasny is probably better known Read More
